Cheers Viv, didn't know you could switch on enum types, discovering a really practical use for

Func<>

has opened my eyes big time - Lambda here I come ;-) BTW I tried sending with angle brackets and it wouldn't let me.

Edit

Oh it did let me :-), on the subject of switch et al , an ex colleague of mine was looking over my shoulder once reading my code and on seeing the word "break" he hollered implicit GOTO and I've never used it since, he also said try writing assembler without GOTO.
